FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE

6.1 Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door
and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood
during the charging process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal
part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
6.2 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
6.3 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post
usually has a larger diameter then the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
6.4 Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis.
If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step
6.5. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.
6.5 For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the
battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery.
Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block
away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or
sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.6
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from the
battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery.
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away
from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-
metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine
block.
6.7 Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.
6.8 When disconnecting the charger, turn all switches to off, disconnect the AC
cord, remove the clip from the vehicle chassis and then remove the clip from
the battery terminal.
6.9 See CALCULATING CHARGE TIME for length of charge information.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE

7.1 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post
usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
7.2 Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable
to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
7.3 Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post
of the battery.
7.4 Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post as far away from the battery as possible –
then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to the free end of the cable.
